Just plain stupid!

 

[redoakneck]

WTH???

 

[cus_deluxe]

it appeared from the video that the groundie had attached himself to the line lowering the top......not sure why that would be. lucky not to be dead

 

[TimberMcPherson]

What, doesn't anyone else in here do that to get into the tree when feeling a little lazy?

 

[JBA]

Does anyone else leave all those stubs on? I sure wouldn't want to be anywhere near that log as it was falling. No way I'm getting impaled on something like that.

 

[TheGoodFellers]

Anyone else see the "climber" almost come out of the tree?

 

[Stayalert]

looks like the "climber" was hanging on a 3 or 4' stub that the rope tied to the other guy was over….then the rope got tight enough to break that stub off….

 

[HuskStihl]

I'm not sure that was really "lumberjacking"

 

[donkeybeater]

well there are lumberjacks out there, but there are many more lumberjerks. buy a chainsaw and you become instant arborist.

 

[Stihlmadd]

it's a bird, it's a plane no it's super groundie!

 

[Single_Shooter]

Just saw this and it is amazing.
But I have at least one noob that I have to repeatedly tell to NOT wrap the rope around their arm or body in any way....they truly have no idea. I learned from working around cattle and horses.
I just wonder if those two guys ever heard of a porta-wrap??? If they have I bet they are thinking it's worth the money now!!!

It had to be some guys that didn't know a thing. Why didn't they cut all the bottom branches off first.
